"If healing was still available, there wouldn't be sick Christians everywhere, especially elderly believers."
How it sounds in your head: You look around your church—walkers, oxygen tanks, cancer survivors, chronic conditions—and think, 'If God still heals, why are we all falling apart?' Every funeral of a faithful saint seems to prove healing isn't promised. The most godly people you know suffered and died, so how can healing be for today?
"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."
-- 3 John 1:2Source: Religious observation that builds theology from experience instead of Scripture, making sickness normal for believers.
You've watched devoted Christians suffer and die despite prayers. If healing was really available, wouldn't the church be the healthiest place on earth? The evidence around you seems to contradict healing promises.
She bled for TWELVE YEARS—spent everything on physicians who made her worse, not better. One touch of Jesus' garment and IMMEDIATELY her flow of blood dried up; she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
I REFUSE the lie that sick Christians prove healing isn't available. IT IS WRITTEN: I pray you prosper and be in health—God's WILL is divine health, and others' unbelief doesn't change my covenant. Israel's 40-year wilderness didn't mean Canaan wasn't real; it meant they didn't believe the promise. IT IS WRITTEN: By His stripes I was healed—past tense, finished work, MINE to receive. The BARAK blessing of Abraham includes HEALTH—it protected even when they sinned, and it's mine through Christ's blood. I will not build my theology on graveyards; I build it on the RESURRECTION that conquered death and sickness forever.
Your Father isn't keeping healing from you because other saints suffered—He's heartbroken that His children die prematurely believing sickness is His will. He paid an unspeakable price to purchase your healing, and He's running toward you NOW with the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead.
